Pork Chops Braised With Posole

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

Posole, or whole hominy, is corn that has been cooked with an alkali, like lime or lye, which softens the grain, plumps its innards, and gives it a unique mineral flavor and a chewy texture. Traditional recipes call for dry posole, which can take hours to cook; here we rely on heat-and-eat canned posole (a.k.a. hominy). Most hominy is made from white corn, although some Hispanic brands sell yellow hominy as well. Either color will work in this recipe.


   4 rib or loin pork chops, about 6 ounces each
   Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
   1 tablespoon vegetable oil
   1 (15-ounce) can whole hominy (posole), drained
   3/4 cup chunky salsa, medium-hot
   1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
   2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
   1 lime, juiced


Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and brown on both sides; drain off the excess oil. Add the posole, salsa, and broth and simmer until the chops are springy to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice and serve.
